Chapter 211 - Reunion 2

Wales opened the front door for Mimi after putting her things in the backseat. His gaze remained on her until she got inside and strapped her seatbelt. Wales went to the driver's seat and started the car.

''How have you been?'' Wales asked as he drove off.

''I'm fine. How have you been too?''

''I'm fine, now that you are closer to me''

''Huh?'' Mimi looked at him and their eyes met. Her heartbeat quickened and she blushed.

Wales smiled and murmured, ''beautiful sight!''

Mimi looked away. She turned her face to the window and muttered, ''why does he have to be so handsome?''

''I heard that…''

''Huh?'' Mimi looked at him and asked, ''you… what did you hear?''

''You just said I am handsome''

''I didn't say such a thing'' Mimi said with a straight face.

''You said it. I definitely heard you''

''Aye… I feel so tired. Wake me up when we reach home'' Mimi leaned against the seat and closed her eyes. Wales smiled and nodded his head.

Wales pulled over in front of the house and turned to look at Mimi. She had really fallen asleep. Wales got out of the car first and sent the luggage inside the house before he came out and opened the front door. He was about to carry Mimi when she opened her eyes. Since he was just in front of her, they were standing rather close.

''I… I thought you were sleeping and didn't want to disturb you. I just wanted to carry you inside'' Wales said and Mimi blinked her eyes a couple of times and chuckled.

''You are so cute, Wales'' Mimi said and stepped down from the car. Wales stepped back to give her space. He was a little flustered.

''Mom said her filming is going to take another two weeks before she gets done. Do you want to come in for a second?'' Mimi asked.

''Huh?''

''Well… if you are tired, you can…''

''Let's go in'' Wales said and led the way.

….

Mimi wrapped her fingers around the cup of coffee that Wales had made when they entered the house. They were sitting across each other.

''So, are you going to start teaching very soon?'' Wales asked, to break the silence between them.

''Not really. I will be going to the Ministry of Education to get my name registered and then, I will write my teaching license exams. That will take about three months maximum before I can start teaching''

''I see''

''Wales, you know I am straightforward, right? I hate to beat around the bush. I came back because of three things. One my career, my family and… you. So, tell me. Am I too late? Do you already have someone in your heart?''

Wales put the mug in his hand down and leaned closer to Mimi saying, ''I do have someone in my heart but she suddenly left my side. She came back today and I was just starting to pursue her but she has the habit of making me speechless''

Wales touched Mimi's hands and opened them up. He picked the mug and placed it on the table and leaned closer. He kissed her lightly and asked.

''Does this answer your question?''

''I missed you so much'' Mimi whispered before kissing him back.

''I missed you too'' Wales pushed her back against the sofa as they kissed.

…..

The Men!

Josh closed the bar to the outside world and there were just their own group consisting of Natalie, Mikael, Alice, Thomas, Xia, Connor, Niania, Zeya, Sebastian Mimi, Wales and Josh himself. They were celebrating Wales and Mimi's reunion.

''So fast? If I knew all it took for you to be together was to make you see each other, I would have parceled Wales up and delivered him right in front of your doorstep at City M'' Alice said, making everyone laugh.

''Well… I would have appreciated it if you actually did that'' Mimi teased as she placed her head on Wales' shoulder.

''This feels surreal. Everyone is here and happy. A lot had happened, I couldn't dream of this moment but it is beautiful'' Natalie said as she held Mikael's hand.

''That being said, let's cheers to a happy life here on…'' Alice stood up and lifted her glass of wine.

''To more happiness!''

''To more happiness!''

''To more happiness!''

''To more happiness!''

Niania looked at Thomas who was chatting with a couple and their daughter. The lady was acting all touchy with Thomas and Niania didn't find it okay at all.

''Calm down, Niania. Thomas only has eyes for you'' Alice tried to calm Niania down.

''Why are her hands everywhere? Does she know where to put them? I should just…'' Niania hit her glass on the table and Mimi almost jumped.

''Ah!'' Mimi chuckled.

''Did you just laugh at me?'' Niania turned to glare at Mimi.

''No!''

''Tsk!'' Niania looked at Thomas again and shook her hand, ''this won't do. I need to claim what's mine before someone taints him''

''I totally support you, Niania. Go and get your husband back on track'' Natalie said, showing her support to Niania.

''Sis, this isn't the time to be supporting her. Thomas is chatting with potential business partners'' Xia said and shook her head.

''He can just look for new partners then…'' Niania said and stood up. The ladies at the table all turned and looked at her as she walked towards Thomas.

Niania was wearing a red gown which fitted her well. She walked over with pride and when she got to Thomas, she held his hand and asked with a smile.

''Darling, you didn't introduce me to your guests''

''Darling?'' Sofia, the couple's daughter asked as she looked at Niania and frowned.

''Let me introduce you to my wife. Gu Nian, this is Mr. and Mrs. Kofi and their daughter, Sofia Kofi''

'Sofia Kofi… you seem to know her name so well?'' Niania said sarcastically as she looked at Thomas with raised brows.

''Thomas opened and closed his mouth and decided to smiled.

''You are sleeping on the couch tonight'' Niania whispered and smiled as she looked at the couple.

Thomas nodded his head, trying to stop himself from laughing.

Back at the table, Alice looked at them and clapped her hands, ''Niania is totally on another level. She should definitely become an actress. I bet she will surpass me''

Xia and Natalie chuckled.

PS: Guess who really slept on the couch!

Fin!!!
